Болховитин Александр Павлович My country today

My country, my pain, my endless fight
Morning brings darkness, no end in sight
They talk of growth on the TV screen
But all I see is what could have been
Promises made of gold and light
Fade into shadows in the dead of night

My country, my tears, my broken home
Wandering lost, forever alone
But the fire inside still refuses to die
We'll rise from the ashes, we'll reach for the sky!
My country — I love you, I curse you, I stay
No matter what comes, I'm here anyway

They build their towers, they write their laws
We pay the price, we bear the flaws
But in our hearts, the anthem rings
Of simple people, of common things
No palace walls can stop the sound
When truth and courage shake the ground

My country, my tears, my broken home
Wandering lost, forever alone
But the fire inside still refuses to die
We'll rise from the ashes, we'll reach for the sky!
My country — I love you, I curse you, I stay
No matter what comes, I'm here anyway
